A Naturalist understands nature by watching it closely: birds, forests, insects, tracks, sounds, everything. Think David Attenborough on Planet Earth. It’s not a hobby: it’s a trained way of reading the natural world.
Who is a Naturalist?
“No one will protect what they don’t care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced.”
-DAVID ATTENBOROUGH
The world’s most respected voice
on nature and wildlife.
